there is something remotely like that on wikipedia. i think it is called ‘list of hominid fossils’ it’s expanding (slowly) and contains images, finding places and date estimates. with many links, so be it somewhat limited it’s still nice.

Do you have a list of the different species/subspecies for the skullcompilation?

Funny that you ask, Alex because in about two weeks I’ll be releasing a comprehensive database of human evolution fossils, with dates, locations, and literature information. Keep visiting Anthropology.net for the announcement.

Is there a review paper, photo atlas, etc. like the composite illustration above, that shows a comprehensive sample of skulls, along with their respective dates and locations? Is there one for all primates, all hominids, sloely human etc.?

Couple of things: first, let’s hope the appetites are whetted; just getting them damp is probably not what we want.

Second, while the ‘common ancestor’ argument is certainly correct, it also appears to be the case that modern chimps/bonobos are the most generalized of all the apes and probably the least changed from whatever the common ancestor was. So IF WE MAKE THAT POINT CLEARLY, and that it is usually generalized rather than specialized forms that give rise to new lineages, then the chimp can be useful for comparisons. But the caveats are important; we do not wish to imply that humans are derived chimps!

@Bit: Most time you don’t have any jaws found with the skulls.
